"The Mystery of Beauty" by Andrea Crespi, quotation by Dostoevski.

"Beauty is an ideal. Good has always had a mystical, strong and indissoluble bond with beauty. "Beauty" is a universal concept. It is empowered to give order to the fundamental disorder of reality, creating harmonious unity and making it capable of revealing an ultimate meaning beyond its own chaos."

This concept, today more relevant than ever, is expressed through the modern reinterpretation of the famous painting Venus by Botticelli, an icon of beauty par excellence.

This work also hides a veiled invitation to search for and rediscover the beauty within each of us, not completely revealing the Venus which is half hidden by an optical pattern, hiding it and protecting it at the same time.

The Cause

The IEO-MONZINO Foundation is the only one that exclusively and directly supports the clinical and experimental research of the European Institute of Oncology and the Monzino Cardiology Center: for almost 30 years, its goal has been to identify the best treatments and support innovative projects through a virtuoso that allows, in total transparency and without waste, to make available to patients what researchers discover in the laboratory.

Research funding is confirmed to be strategic for the work of the doctors and scientists who work at the IEO and Monzino, so that the progress and results achieved in the laboratory can be quickly transformed into more personalized treatments, and translate into increasingly effective diagnostic systems .

The priority commitment of the IEO-MONZINO Foundation is therefore to further strengthen fundraising so as to make precious resources available in support of the research of excellence carried out by IEO and Monzino and to allow its work to continue and over the medium/long term.
